How to force to work passive FTP from LAN to WAN.

In current snapshot passive ftp doesn't work.

Mike, do you have floating firewall rules in use? See issue #863.

I just updated to 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Tue Sep 7 23:11:08 EDT 2010 (latest) and tested LAN->WAN ftp connection, both passive and active mode worked fine without floating rules in use - with floating rules, the passive mode connection worked, the active mode failed (different than what you're reporting). This is the flip side of issue #863, where passive fails for a WAN->LAN connection with floating rules in use.

The ftp helper was removed because it's handled in the kernel now.

I'm seeing the same thing as Mike using 2.0-BETA4 (i386) built on Mon Sep 6 22:04:59 EDT 2010. Though passive FTP was definitely working for us up until this weekend, perhaps there was a regression of some sort?

We're not using any floating rules, btw. Just trying to allow our users on LAN to access FTP on WAN. Active FTP is fine.

Try latest snapshot should be working ok.

We're still seeing the exact same behaviour (Active FTP works fine, Passive doesn't work) on this snapshot:

2.0-BETA4 (i386)
built on Thu Sep 9 19:39:18 EDT 2010
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE

I update to snapshot:

2.0-BETA4  (i386)
built on Thu Sep 9 00:41:45 EDT 2010

Now do not work both types FTP (Active, Passive). :(

I disable floating rules, it hasn't helped.
If the information helps, we use gateway groups.

Sorry, I have a little deceived.
All also doesn't work a passive mode. Active - works.

I too see this issue. No passive FTP out from the LAN->WAN works. I just updated to Mon Sep 27 04:12:19 EDT 2010 from a ~ Sep 9 build and am still experiencing the above described issue.

As with the previous poster, I use multi-WAN at this location.
